5. Cleaning & Maintenance

Warning
Always switch o and disconnect power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.
NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or the motor with liquids or solvents

Cleaning the Exterior

We recommended using a soft cloth, water and a liquid soap, rinsing it well and then drying it thoroughly. For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g. Steel Kleen) to clean your rangehood.
OK
• The recommended detergent is a solution of water and a neutral liquid soap.
• It is very important for the liquid soap to not contain granules that could scratch the surface.
• First apply the solution to a soft cloth and then rub the cloth over the rangehood. It is important to follow the direction of the stained surface with the cloth (refer to gure on left).
• Do not pour any liquid directly on to the rangehood.
• The cloth must have no buttons, zips or fasteners that could scratch the surface.
• It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products, naphtha, alcohol or similar products that could damage the surface of the rangehood.
• The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by cleaning with products which are not suitable or using inadequate cleaning methods.

Page 10
5. Cleaning & Maintenance

Filters

For this appliance to function eectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease particles given o during cooking.
• Clogged lters and heavy oil deposits restrict airow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a re hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The lters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
– Washing by hand - Immerse the lter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean,
rinse with plenty of hot water.
– Dishwasher - Put the lter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh lters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is not necessary to change the lters.
Please ensure the lters are completely dry before placing them back in position and operating the rangehood.
To remove the lter press handle and remove it through the front guide; bend it slightly and remove lter. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse.
Warning
• If the grease lters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air, which reduces its eciency;
Page 10
• The grease deposits that build up on the lter are highly ammable and COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE.
• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of re due to poor maintenance of the grease lters.

Replacing the Lights

Danger
Always switch o and disconnect power before replacing the lights. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb may retain heat for a short period of time after being switched o.
5. Cleaning & Maintenance
Step 1
Remove the lters from the rangehood.
Step 2
Gently turn light bulb anti­clockwise, pull the light bulb down and remove it from the light holder.
Step 3
Insert a new light bulb by lining up the pins of the light bulb with the larger holes inside the light holder. Once the pins are in place, turn clockwise to secure the light bulb.

Overhead cabinet Rangehood Installation position

It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.
The information below is to be used as a guide only, drawings are not to scale and do not account for all circumstances.
The cooktop is centrally installed in the benchtop in the diagrams below.
GOOD
400mm
BETTER
450mm

6. Installation

Mounting Instructions

It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop. This will greatly improve its performance.
Minimum height from the hob top surface to the underside face of the rangehood:
• 600mm electric cooktop
• 600mm gas cooktop
Any installation above 800mm will compromise the extraction performance.
Note: If the instructions for the gas cooktop specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.

Recommended Installation Height for Induction Cooktop

To help avoid condensation, particular to cooking with an induction cooktop, Schweigen recommends a height of between 700-750mm. Refer to page 18 for further information.
Measurements are from the top of the trivets to the lowest part of the rangehood, including the button controls.
*IMPORTANT: If the user decides to install the rangehood at a distance of less than minimum height above the cooking surface, Schweigen declines responsibility for damages suered by the rangehood due to excess heat or damage to objects, people and others caused directly or indirectly by a malfunction, breakage or re.
* Important: In addition to the information in this manual,
please check all relevant state requirememnts for minimum– maximum heights, as well as regulations regarding the expelling of air. Schweigen is not liable if your rangehood is not installed in accordance with these legal requirements.

6. Installation

Ducting

Please DO NOT crush or kink the ducting.
1. Crushed or kinked ducting creates
sharp corners that creates turbulence. This reduces the size and eciency of the ducting, lowers extraction and may cause excessive noise.
2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting
reduces resistance and turbulence. The airow and extraction will be more ecient and stronger.

Back Draft Fins (For applicable models)

The supplied ducting has been manufactured with an allowance for the back draft ns to operate without hindrance. It is the smooth extended end of the ducting.
When installing Back Draft Fins, please ensure that you insert the Back Draft Fins onto the back draft base, which are attached to the top of the motor outlet before installation. Then place the smooth extended edge of the ducting into the back draft base and x securely.
Should your Back Draft Fins get stuck, this is not a warranty issue.

7. Condensation Information

Cooking with Induction Cooktops

Cooking with an induction or similar cooktop, may produce condensation on the rangehood.
Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in turn, produces vapours rapidly. Because of this rapid process, the rangehood lters do not have enough time to warm, which increases the chance of condensation forming.
There are many variables that may contribute to condensation forming, some of which include but are not limited to:
• Variance in climate – geographical location
• Position of your home & kitchen – morning/afternoon sun
• Installation distance from cooktop to the rangehood
• Speed of food & liquid heating
• Filter size – larger canopy preferred
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality recommended
How to reduce the possibility of condensation forming:
• Ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualied professional, carefully following the installation guide
• Turn on the rangehood 5-10 minutes prior to cooking, and leave on for 10-15 minutes after cooking; this helps clear remaining vapours from the ue.
• Start the cooking process at a low-to-medium setting and allow time for the rangehood to warm up.
• Clean lters regularly.
• Ensure constant airow in the cooking zone; this helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer advice.
For further advice, tips or information regarding cooking with induction, please contact your induction cooktop manufacturer.
